  • Patent number: 4383460
    Abstract: A pillar post assembly for holding the cutting wheel of a glass cutting machine in which the glass cutting wheel is carried by a holder in a post swivel. The post swivel is mounted within a hollow housing for use in a glass cutting machine. The post swivel and cutting wheel holder are permitted limited vertical movement and rotation within the housing so that the cutting wheel adjusts itself to the most favorable position as it begins its first travel across the glass. Friction means within the pillar post assembly, keeps the cutting wheel in the said most favorable position for successive cuts.

  • Patent number: 4281936
    Abstract: A paint mixing and conditioning apparatus in which a paint filled container is simultaneously tumbled end over end while being rotated about its longitudinal axis. The container is clamped to a pulley shaped disc which is rotatably carried by spaced resilient wheels journaled in an upstanding plate. The container clamp is disposed to extend across openings in the upstanding plate and disc. The pulley shaped disc is driven peripherally by a resilient drive wheel coupled to a power source to tumble the container. A beveled friction wheel, coupled to the container clamp and in frictional contact with the upstanding plate, rotates the container as the pulley shaped disc is turned.
